The theft of any licensed gun means there's one more on the street - and- every licensed gun holder knows - it is a matter of public importance that any gun theft be reported.
So then what are we to think about the customs department which waited almost a month before it reported a 9 millimeter pistol stolen?
The gun, a CZ brand pistol was stolen on the 22nd and it's not like they didn't know about it - because we heard about it right after Christmas.
IT was stolen from the Customs Headquarters on Caesar Ridge Road.
We could not reach customs for comment...
